Résumé anglais In order to analyse the relationship between Major technological hazards (MTH.) and cartography, the author first stresses the complexity of relations between hazards and space, as well as the different dimensions to be taken into account for the evaluation of MTHs. Second, the mapping process associated with the evaluation methods of hazards is presented according to the different ways of approaching the MTHs. Finally, the role of the map in the prevention process and management of MTHs is highlighted, as well as the role of Geographical Information Systems as a decision-aiding tool.
